(Chicago, April 16. Uproarieus
applause greeted Martin J. McDon-
ough, state's attorney at Iron 1iver,
Mich., and who was the central fig
. ure in upsetting the spectacular cru
sade by Major Dalrymple, when he
appeared as the principal speaker at
a mast meeting of the newly organ-
Order of Camels last night.
. ized
This was the first 01 a series
of
r".:
ft
meetings in a drive to secure 100,000
members of the order in Chicago.
It purposes are to boost every
candidate from president down to
dog priter, who will pledjtp himself
to work for more liberal liquor laws,
and to put all sorts of pressure upon
candidates and office holders who
are "for strict enforcement of the
prohibition laws.
Wants Personal Liberty,
"I want personal liberty despite
the ideas ot any organization that
exists in this, world," said McDon
ough, and the audience howled its
approval. y
. "No one lias a right to tell me how
to live. You people are jelly-fish if
you submit to encroachments on
your personal liberty. The referen
dum will show public opinion on the
prohibition question. Until that is
done boneheads, armed with guns,
will go about the country encroach
ing on the sacred rights of the
. American people."
Much applause and stamping of
. feet and then Clarence Darrow arose
and taid he -was not in favor of
passing fc law compelling prohibi
tionists to drink beer. He con
demned intolerance and said every
man should be left free to make his
own mistakes in regard to what he
cats and drinks, as well as his choice
of a religion.
PERSHING DOES'
NOT FAVOR PLAN
. OF PRUSSIANS
Says Their System oi Compul
sory Military Training Has
No Place in America.
Washington, April .16. (Special.)
The Prussian svfetem of compul-
sory military training and service
has no place in America, and those
who would fasten such a-policy on
the youth of -the United States
cither do not realize what they are
trying to do or they greatly misjudge
the temper of the nation, according
to General Pershing. Talking to
newspaper men last night the general
declared there-was no place in this
land of freedom for a nilitary au
tocracy and its attendant evils Cer
tain products of die Prussian system.
The general believes the ydung
their military trainine and educa'
tion along wittt their school work
as far as possible, , at such times
as will, least inconvenience them
selves and the homes from which
they come. The direct physical bene
fits from uh training and discipline,
admitted by all and clearly proven
m the great war, would result in a
more virile citizenship, as well as
equip our young men for service
should war come.
Lost Art of Walking ,
" Upstairs Revived by :
NY. Elevator Strike
New York, 'April 16. Revival of
the lost art of walking upstairs was
forced upon thousands of reluctant
personj m New York today by. a
strike of union elevator operators.
The union claims membership of
more than 17,000.
The operators, who voted last
night to strike for increased pav and
shorter hours, did not show up for
work this morning. Wdmen who
ran the lifts during war days were,
being sought as strike breakers by
building owners.
Dflay seemed interminable to
petulant workers, many of whom al
ready had been held up oy trans
portation difficulties and finally thev
commenced the long, tedious climb
to offices on the tenth, twentieth or
thirtieth floors. '
The operators claim their strike
has the sanction of the American
Federation of Labor. . They demand
wage increases ranging from $5 to
$10 a week and the eight-hour day,
with time and a half for overtime.

In short, while we have been ex

General Pershing thinks we mflst
